Don't pay any attention to the negative reviews of this one. It's a big improvement over the last editions. Simply download the updates and you're in business. I like MLB The Show, but find the graphics here, including the stadiums, just a tad more realistic. The announcing is great and the game can be fine tuned to deliver as much of a challenge as you want. I have both The Show and this one and really enjoy them both!

This ones a bargain at $39.99 and even less on ebay. Get it!

I've been playing just under a week and the improvements are easily noticeable. First off the frame rate is vastly improved. Last year I played 2K8 for all of 20 mins and could take no more. The graphics are also better than last year but I thought the graphics in 2K7 were just as impressive.

I'm still getting used to the gameplay mechanics but I welcome the challenge. I will say that I despise the total control pitching and pine for the crosshairs of 2K7 but alas I know those are history. I still use the classic pitching option which has it's own frustrations such as the constant barrage of bean balls I seem to throw despite seemingly getting the meter just right. It also makes painting the corners next to impossible. Sometimes it seems like it's throw down the middle or beanballs are you're only options, it might just be my inexperience though I'm sure more practice will make perfect. Right now I'm constantly being clobbered by the computer. I hit at-'em balls and pop ups while the CPU hits gappers and homers all day.

I haven't played online yet so I can't comment on that. I'm a casual player so I also don't care for manager modes. I just like to pick teams and play ball. Overall I'm content with this years effort from 2K Sports. There's still work to be done but there on the right track.

I payed 5 bucks for this and thank god for that, since it seems to be unplayable, I own the 2k7 baseball and I like it better. The graphics are okay, but the gameplay and controller settings are horrible.

The controls is different from another MLB game; although, after time it kind of gets used to. The graphics are not up to date, but they are good. Overall this is a good game and I'm not sure I would recommend it.

None of the players look like they did in 2009, or ever for that matter. And the best game I've been able to play, I lost 3-0. They make you play on Pro or better for any progress, it isn't that I am bad at the game, it's just really really unrealistic. They successfully make catches 100% of the time on the ones that a real player would fail at 100% of the time, I find myself thinking "If this could really happen, then every player would qualify for Hall of Fame".
